Palin: Obama Not Qualified to Be Commander-in-Chief

October 03, 2008 2:02 PM

ABC News' Teddy Davis, Rigel Anderson, and Arnab Datta Report: Speaking to Fox News on Friday, Sarah Palin indicated for the first time that she does not consider Barack Obama qualified to be commander in chief and sharply criticized him for saying last year that U.S. troops in Afghanistan are "just air raiding villages and killing civilians."

Calling Obama "reckless," Palin said that where she comes from Obama's remarks "disqualify someone from consideration for the next commander-in-chief."

"Some of his comments that he's made about the war, that I think, in my world disqualify someone from consideration for the next commander-in-chief," said Palin. "Some of the comments he's made about Afghanistan, what we are doing there, 'just air raiding villages and killing civilians.' That's reckless."

Vicious truths spoken! More at 11:00.

[IbJensen]

How dare they say he's not qualified to be elevated to a high position.

He could be Chief Towel Boy in a high-class brothel.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Excellent,...get on the attack Sarah!!!

[Northern Yankee]

Hit em hard... hit em often.

There's no substitute for victory.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Way to go, Sarah. Can we replace McCain with Sarah?

"Some of his comments that he's made about the war, that I think, in my world disqualify someone from consideration for the next commander-in-chief," said Palin. "Some of the comments he's made about Afghanistan, what we are doing there, 'just air raiding villages and killing civilians.' That's reckless."

Thanks Ernest.

McCain said recently the same, in fact I think it was at last weeks debate.

They need to weave in the birth certificate issue that BHO has. The media will bite.

[Obadiah]

FREE SARAH PALIN!

[MDformerDem]

Bobomba has two choices: ignore her and look weak or restart the ‘qualifications’ argument w/ the GOP vp candidate. Haha.

[jazusamo]

Sarahcuda is right on the money!

[engrpat]

Flip the ticket and turn her loose. Love to get her out from under McCain’s thumb and let Sarah be Sarah.

[Sub-Driver]

that was my thought as well.........

[MattinNJ]

She must have learned a lot watching her son play hockey. She hit EVERYONE that touched the puck last night. Biden was getting his a$$ handed to him in front of the whole nation, she dropped several nukes on Obama including his "air raiding villages" comment, and then skated over to the bench and smacked Michelle Obama when she said "I have always been proud of my country".

McCain, get out of the way and let her drop the gloves. She thrives on it.

[savedbygrace]

The Taliban are using civilians as shields. Of course some are going to be killed or wounded. But Obama said that’s ALL our brave men and women are doing in Afghanistan, killing civilians by air strikes. Obama is a disgusting person.

[Allegra]

Keep pounding, Sarah. Love it!

At least the bottom of the ticket is coming out tough.

[word_warrior_bob]

I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about how skillfully Palin painted Obama as a dangerous and anti-military extremist, I know this resonated and will make people take a second look at Obama.

She smacked Obama around relentlessly and without mercy the way she did at the convention, the left is besides themselves....again.

[<1/1,000,000th%]

I thought Obama meant our troops were bombing civilians in Chicago, New Illinois?

That’s where most of the deaths are.

Is New Illinois the 54th or 55th state?

Here's the video...

[Seaplaner]

Says Marxist Obama..."We've gotta get the job done there," said Obama, referring to the U.S. mission in Afghanistan, "and that requires us to have enough troops so that we're not just air raiding villages and killing civilians, which is causing enormous problems there."

What a military-hating thing to say.

That Sarah Palin takes this America-hating Marxist on, toe-to-toe, shows her convictions and her courage.

[Leftism is Mentally Deranged]

Obama is not qualified because the Constitution implies that the United States has a free market system, not marxism. Obama is a marxist, and therefore is not qualified to be president or commander in chief.

[lonevoice]

Yet more evidence that our ticket is upside down.

[SMARTY]

I think of Obama’s style as being typical of Liberal politicians. Playing fast and loose with the facts is always their approach. Style WAY over substance….every time!

Liberals are lucky in this too, because the state of U. S. public education assures a pretty complete absence of the academic rigor necessary to question these errors, omissions and exaggerations AND the MSM has a free hand in magnifying the already deplorable situation by misrepresenting/omitting current and historical fact.

Liberal politics in the U.S. is nothing less than institutionalized deception. There is NO other way to explain how or why Liberals perpetually accept the groundless, rationally flawed, intellectually jejune, howling lies and patent inconsistencies that the DNC troops out and beats Conservatives over the head with in every election and .

It IS a pathology…. and if it only affected the carriers (like hemophilia) I wouldn’t mind…but we ALL pay for THEIR refusal/inability to see facts for what they are.

In every election, the situation becomes more and more critical with more and more at stake for ALL Americans and not just for the fools who bought the hype. THIS TIME, our very national sovereignty/security (in the absence of which, all other debate is pointless) is in jeopardy.

[Ernest_at_the_Beach]

Love it!

[potlatch]

Thanks Ernest. I have one of McCain too. They are large file size in spite of cutting them down!

[genghis]

the last democrat that wasn’t a an idiot, an appeasser and or a flaming marxists was grover cleveland.
Not one democrat since, have i not hated.

[SierraWasp]

She’s about the only bright spot conservatives have left!

[devolve]

.

Rolling!

[Marine_Uncle]

She was fully non political on that one. The guy is a empty suit and should be called on his vast shortages of common sense.
Sadly, main stream America seems to be rather stupid. How can the anointed one and his side kick be serious about increasing the offensive war in Afghanistan and not expect for villages and people to get blasted. She should have made that point in the debate. Like "who are you folks trying to kid".

[singfreedom]

She's fighting for her child, and everyone else’s, when she speaks of our military. It is a mother's devotion to her child. She's not about to let OUR children be slandered by this self-idolizing miscreant.

[XEHRpa]

> the last democrat that wasn’t a an idiot, an appeasser and or a flaming marxists was grover cleveland.

True, but he did have a “love child”

Great video, I added it here:
